Mrs. Kaphan Guest
of Detroit Chapter

TIME: Friday afternoon.
PLACE: Dexter and Webb.
QUESTION: Do you agree With
our columnist Al Segal that
if bigotry is to be wiped out
the Gentiles will have to do
the job?

Mrs. Ludwig Kaphan, national
president of Women's American
ORT, will be guest speaker at
the firit regional meeting of the
Detroit Chapter, Monday in the
Jewish Center.
The session will honor all offi-
cers and board members of
newly-formed ORT chapters.
Mrs. Kaphan, before assuming
her present office, was president
of the Ladies Auxiliary of St.
Joseph's Hospital, Far Rockaway,
president of the Manhattan (N.
Y.) chapter of ORT and national
chairman of ORT war activities.
Last summer she visited ORT
schools in Germany, Switzer-
land, Belgium, France and Eng-
land.
A buffet luncheon will be
served at 1 p.m., Mrs. Harry
Becker, president, said.
